What is 360 Energy?

For 30+ years, 360 Energy has helped organizations make better energy decisions through independent advisory, software, and stronger visibility into energy data, cost, and risk.
‍
We work with commercial, industrial, institutional, and greenhouse organizations to improve energy procurement, manage utility and performance data, strengthen reporting, and support better short- and long-term planning.
Independent from utilities and suppliers, 360 Energy provides advice and tools designed to help clients reduce avoidable cost, manage exposure to market volatility, and make decisions with greater confidence.

360 Energy. In three words?

Independent. Strategic. Experienced.

That means advice aligned with our clients’ interests, informed by real operating and market conditions, and backed by decades of experience across North American energy markets.
360 Energy brings together energy market knowledge, procurement expertise, software, and utility data analysis to help clients make stronger decisions around cost control, reporting, planning, and market exposure. Our work is shaped by the realities clients are dealing with every day, including procurement, budgeting, utility bill visibility, greenhouse operations, and broader energy performance management.
We work closely with clients to understand their operating realities, cost pressures, and reporting needs, then support them with advisory, software, and analysis that fit the situation. With a long track record across North American energy markets, 360 Energy helps clients make decisions that are commercially sound, operationally useful, and backed by clearer data.

360 Energy History

It all started in 1995.

360 Energy was founded in 1995, at a time when many organizations had far less access to the energy data needed to make informed decisions. Early work in hourly energy data, analysis, education, and procurement support helped shape the company’s approach: combining better information with better decision-making to improve outcomes for energy-intensive organizations.

Over time, that work expanded into broader advisory services, training, software, reporting, and sector-specific tools designed to help clients manage energy cost, performance, and risk more effectively.
